An effort to define and characterize the environmental effects that control the release and mobility of radon in the environment is presented. The results of our preliminary field experiments on the long-term study of our ...

A Major unknown at present is the actual direction of groundwater flow in the Puna district. This presents a difficult problem for monitoring the effect of geothermal discharge on the basal groundwater system. At the present ...

The Hawaii Geothermal Project Well-A, located on the Island of Hawaii, was completed in 1976 to a depth of 1966 meters. The bottomhole temperature, under shut-in conditions, is 360°C and at full discharge is capable of ...

The east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano is comprised of a northeast- to southwest-trending complex of dikes and fractures extending more than 100 kilometers from the summit caldera to the ocean floor. Geologic, petrologic, ...

Resistivity data from several areas were compiled, analyzed, and interpreted in terms of possible geologic models. On the basis of this analysis alone, two areas have been ruled out for possible geothermal exploitation, ...

Geothermal energy can probably make significant contributions to our rapidly increasing energy requirements. Because of this, major exploration programs are underway in many countries at the present time. A variety of ...

Rates of ground radon emanation, in the Puna geothermal area on the lower east rift of Kilauea volcano, were measured by alpha particle sensitive cellulose nitrate films. The survey successfully defined an area of thermal ...

Intraplate volcanism within the Pacific Plate not generated at spreading plate margins is most obvious in Hawaii and the Hawaiian-Emperor volcanic chain. This chain forms a global relief feature of the first order. This ...

Predrilling environmental baseline studies and extensive ongoing comparative aerometry in volcanic and rift areas have made it possible to characterize the University Experimental Geothermal Well (HGP-A) as a low-Hg, low-H2S ...

During 1979 reconnaissance field surveys were conducted on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu with the objective of confirming groundwater chemical data and geophysical data compiled during the preliminary regional ...
